Huckabee’s Adele parody tries to call Iowa voters a thousand times

Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee released a new parody campaign video Wednesday morning, riffing on the popular Adele ballad, “Hello.” The video, set to a similar tune as Adele’s hit single, is targeted at Iowa voters and weaves in local and state references into its lyrics, including Le Mars ice cream, Pizza Ranch and Amish chairs. It also incorporates plenty of jabs at Huckabee’s competition, both liberal and conservative.

With the Iowa caucus just five days away, the Hawkeye State is showing Huckabee little love. The most recent Quinnipiac data shows just 2 percent of likely voters in Iowa would vote for Huckabee. On a national level, the former Arkansas governor trailed the other Republican candidates in the most recent Reuters poll, commanding just 2.3 percent of the poll respondents’ votes, compared to front-runner Donald Trump’s 40 percent.
